Background
The artificial forest wood has the advantages of high growth speed, short growth period, low wood density, soft material, low strength, easy buckling deformation and great limitation on application. In order to overcome the inherent defects of the wood of the artificial forest and expand the application range, the wood density is improved by adopting a wood strengthening and compacting treatment technology in production, and further the strength and the stability of the wood are improved. The weight increasing treatment adopted at present has two types, one is compression densification, namely, the physical modification technology of reducing the volume of a wood cavity by adopting a mechanical compression method through hydrothermal action so as to improve the density and the wood property of the wood, and the effect of densification is realized, and the method can be divided into integral compression densification and surface compression densification according to the effect of densification. The other method is impregnation filling densification, namely, the impregnant is added to fill substances into the gaps in the wood, so that the effects of volume saturation and quality improvement are achieved, and the purpose of densification is met. Additives which improve or enhance certain properties of the material are referred to as modifiers. At present, impregnants for weight increment and reinforcement of wood are mainly resins, such as low-molecular urea-formaldehyde resin, phenolic resin, furfural resin and the like.
The physical compression densification is an environment-friendly wood densification technology, the key technology of the physical compression densification is mainly softening and deformation fixation, the softening is to improve the plasticity of lignin and semi-fibers in the wood through heat and moisture so as to enable the wood to be easily compressed, in order to prevent the surface of the wood from exploding due to overlarge water vapor pressure in the compression process, the water content of the wood needs to be controlled to be lower (generally below 8%), so that the softening time of the wood is prolonged, and the interior of the wood has larger compression stress, so that the compression rebound rate is higher, and the use is influenced. Therefore, deformation stability treatment is needed after compression and densification, the compression stress in the wood is usually released in a high-temperature heat treatment mode, so that the dimension is stable, and if deformation and fixation are not good, dimension rebound can be caused in the later use process. On the other hand, the compression and densification are realized by compressing the volume of the cavity inside the wood to improve the density of the wood, the density is not obviously improved when the compression ratio is small, and the large volume loss and the wood resource waste are caused when the compression ratio is high. The wood density is increased by adding the impregnant, so that the volume loss of the wood can be avoided, and the wood can be endowed with functions of corrosion prevention, hydrophobicity and the like, but the commonly used impregnant is mainly resins which mainly use fossil resources as raw materials and contain harmful substances such as free formaldehyde, free phenol and the like, the production and use processes are harmful to the environmental safety, and meanwhile, the impregnant has large molecular weight, is difficult to impregnate the wood, and has large using amount and high cost.
